Deep in the burrows of the Sambisa Forest near the town of Damboa in Maiduguri – the state capital of Borno – a harried and scared 19-year-old girl carrying a baby was found roaming aimlessly – by village natives.

Amina Ali Mkeki is the name that Colonel Sani Usman of the Nigerian army released as the young woman’s identifier even though previous reports have assigned a different one.

The young girl apprehended by Cameroonian authorities last Friday after being caught carrying explosives with another female who unlike previously reported was actually an adult woman – is definitely not one of the missing Chibok girls.

The 12-year-old who along with her companion had planned to detonate the bombs and blow themselves up – claimed to be one of the more than 250 schoolgirls that were abducted from their dorm rooms by Boko Haram back in April 2014.
